A new offering from the Alternative Seminary.
A FIVE-WEEK ONLINE COURSE
September 13 – October 11, 2023
Wednesday evenings, 7:00 – 9:00 pm
We have come through a global virus, but our world is still in desperate need of healing.
Severe poverty and deepening divides of income, war and violence, racism and other forms of hatred and systemic discrimination, a ravaged creation: All of these cry out for healing – but what is the healing we need? As we emerge from the global pandemic, how does this moment of deep societal vulnerability force us to ask deeper questions about who we are and what kind of world we need? And how do we engage in self-healing practices?
For five weeks, we will explore together several Gospel accounts of Jesus’ healings, reflecting on how these stories speak to our society and world. We will reflect on ways we are all in need of healing and how we can be empowered to be faithful disciples and healers in this time of manifold crises.
This course will be facilitated by Will O’Brien. Will is coordinator of The Alternative Seminary and a member of the Vine & Fig Tree community in Philadelphia.
The cost for this course will be $75 (or whatever you can afford).
DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION IS SEPTEMBER 1. SPACE IS LIMITED.
